December 19, 2016 Retirement Board 50 Service Avenue, 2nd Floor Warwick, RI 02886-1021 Dear Members of the Board: Subject: Actuarial Valuation of ERSRI as of June 30, 2016 This is the June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI), which is a defined benefit plan that covers State Employees and Teachers. This report describes the current actuarial condition of ERSRI, determines recommended employer contribution rates, and analyzes changes in these contribution rates. Valuations are prepared annually, as of June 30 th, the last day of the ERSRI plan year. Not covered in this report are the Municipal Employees' Retirement System, the State Police Retirement Benefits Trust, the Judicial Retirement Benefits Trust, and the Teachers Survivor Benefits Plan, even though assets for ERSRI and these other programs are commingled for investment purposes. Additionally, this report does not consider the contribution requirements associated with any defined contribution benefits provided to State Employees and Teachers outside of the defined benefit plan. Under Rhode Island General Laws, the employer contribution rates for State Employees and for Teachers are certified annually by the State of Rhode Island Retirement Board. These rates are determined actuarially, based on the plan provisions in effect as of the valuation date, the actuarial assumptions adopted by the Board, and the methodology set forth in the statutes. The Board s current policy is that the contribution rates determined by a given actuarial valuation become effective two years after the valuation date. For example, the rates determined by this June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation will be applicable for the year beginning July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019. Financing objectives The actuarial cost method and the amortization periods are set by statute. Normal cost rate (as a percent of pay) and actuarial accrued liabilities are computed using the Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method. The employer contribution rate is the sum of two pieces: the employer normal cost rate and the amortization rate. The employer normal cost rate is the difference between the normal cost rate and the member contribution rate. The amortization rate, also determined as a level percent of pay, is the amount required to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a closed period. The amortization rate is adjusted for the two-year deferral

Members of the Board December 19, 2016 Page 2 in contribution rates. Separate employer contribution rates are determined for State Employees and for Teachers. Progress toward realization of financing objectives The funded ratio (the ratio of the actuarial value of assets to the actuarial accrued liability) is a standard measure of a plan s funded status. The funded status alone is not appropriate for assessing the need for future contributions. The funded status is not appropriate for assessing the sufficiency of plan assets to cover the estimated cost of settling the plan's benefit obligations. The funded ratio for State Employees is 56.0% while the funded ratio for Teachers is 58.3%. These funded ratios decreased slightly from the prior valuation primarily due to an actuarial loss from the 5.5% return on the actuarial value of assets being less than the assumed rate of 7.5%. Given the plan s contribution allocation procedure, if all actuarial assumptions are met (including the assumption of the plan earning 7.50% on the actuarial valuation of assets), it is expected that: 1. The employer normal cost as a percentage of pay will decrease to the level of the newest tier as the old tier population declines and is replaced by new tier members (approximately, 6.60% for the State and 5.72% for Teachers), 2. The amortization payment as a percentage of pay will remain level through fiscal year 2036, 3. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability will be fully amortized after 19 years for the State and 21 years for Teacher from fiscal year 2019, and 4. In the absence of benefit improvements, the funded ratio should increase over time, until it reaches 100%. The employer contribution rate for State Employees is 25.75% while the employer contribution rate for Teachers is 23.51%. These employer contribution rates determined by this June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation will be applicable for the year beginning July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019. An analysis of the changes in the employer contribution rates appears in Table 11A of this report. An analysis of the changes in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability appears in Table 11C. Benefit provisions The benefit provisions reflected in this valuation are those which were in effect on June 30, 2016, and there have been no changes to the benefit provisions since the preceding valuation. All benefit provisions are summarized in Appendix B.

Members of the Board December 19, 2016 Page 3 Assumptions and methods The assumptions are unchanged from the last actuarial valuation and were approved by the Board on June 18, 2014. We believe the assumptions are internally consistent and are reasonable, based on the actual experience of ERSRI. The results of the actuarial valuation are dependent upon the actuarial assumptions used. Actual results can and almost certainly will differ, as actual experience deviates from the assumptions. Even seemingly minor changes in the assumptions can materially change the liabilities and the calculated contribution rates. All assumptions and methods are described in Appendix A. The actuarial assumptions and methods used in this report comply with the parameters for disclosure that appear in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 67. Data The ERSRI staff supplied data for retired, active and inactive members as of June 30, 2016. We did not audit this data, but we did apply a number of tests to the data, and we concluded that it was reasonable and consistent with the prior year's data. The ERSRI staff also supplied asset data as of June 30, 2016. Certification All of our work conforms with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices, and with the Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board. In our opinion, our calculations also comply with the requirements of Rhode Island state law and, where applicable, the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA, and the Statements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The undersigned are independent actuaries. All are Members of the American Academy of Actuaries. They all meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries and they are experienced in performing valuations for large public retirement systems. Respectfully submitted, Joseph P. Newton, FSA, MAAA, EA Paul T. Wood, ASA, MAAA, FCA Bradley E. Stewart, ASA, MAAA, EA

Discussion Contribution Rates The employer contribution rates for ERSRI are determined actuarially. Separate rates are determined for State Employees and for Teachers. The rates determined in this valuation become effective two years after the valuation date, i.e., as of July 1, 2018. The rate consists of two pieces: the normal cost rate and the amortization rate. The normal cost rate is the employer s Entry Age normal cost, expressed as a percentage of active member payroll. The amortization rate is the contribution required to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over 19 years as a level percentage of payroll. For the Teachers, the State of Rhode Island pays 40% of the rate, adjusted so that the State pays the entire amortization charge for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 deferrals, and the town or city employing the Teacher pays the balance. Local State Total Amortization for FY 91 and 92 deferrals 0.00% 0.29% 0.29% Normal cost and all other amortizations 13.45% 9.77% 23.22% Total 13.45% 10.06% 23.51% 5

Discussion Impact of Decrease in Contribution Rates Under Rhode Island General Laws (RIGL) 36-10-2(e), if the State s actuarially determined contribution rate for State Employees or for Teachers for a fiscal year will be less than in the preceding fiscal year, the Governor is required to include an appropriation to ERSRI in the fiscal year budget equal to 20% of the reduction. Because the FYE 2019 contribution rate for both the State Employees and the State share for Teachers are higher than the rates for FYE 2018, no additional appropriation will be required. 6

Discussion Financial Data and Experience Assets for ERSRI are held in trust and are commingled with those of several other plans and programs for investment purposes. The State Investment Commission is responsible for setting the asset allocation policy and for investing the funds. The ERSRI assets are then allocated by the ERSRI staff among State Employees, Teachers, and the Teachers Survivor Benefits Plan. Table 6 of this report shows the net plan assets for ERSRI in total, and it shows the breakdown between State Employees, Teachers and the Teachers Survivor Benefits Plan. Table 7 of this report shows a reconciliation of the assets for State Employees and Teachers between the previous valuation and this valuation. Table 9 shows the distribution of investments by category 79% of assets are held in equities, including real estate and private equity and Table 10 shows a historical summary of the return rates. As can be seen, the net market value rate of return was (0.2%) for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the return on an actuarial asset value basis was 5.5%. The average annual return based on the market value of assets over the last ten years (July 1, 2006 June 30, 2016) was 4.8%. This is less than the current 7.5% annual investment return assumption. All returns above are net of both investment and administrative expenses and may differ from other information provided by the General Treasurer s office or the investment managers and advisors due to timing of reflected cash flows, frequency of compounding, and treatment of administrative expenses. The ERSRI staff provided all of the financial information used in this report. 7

Discussion Member Data The ERSRI staff supplied member data as of June 30, 2016. While we did not audit this data, we did perform various tests to ensure that it was internally consistent, consistent with the prior year s data, and was reasonable overall. Information provided for active members includes: name, an identification number, gender, a code indicating whether the member was active or inactive, a code indicating employee type (State Employee or Teacher), date of birth, service, salary, date of last contribution, accumulated member contributions without interest, accrued benefit multiplier as of June 30, 2016, Final Average Compensation as of June 30, 2012, Article 7 Retirement Date, and the Rhode Island Retirement Security Act Retirement Date. For retired members, data includes: name, an identification number, gender, date of birth, date of retirement, amount of benefit, the amount of adjustment after age 62 for anyone electing the Social Security option, a code indicating the option elected and the type of retiree (service retiree, disabled retiree, beneficiary), and if applicable, the joint pensioner s date of birth and gender. Tables 12A and 12B of this report show the number of members by category (active, inactive, retired, etc.). Table 13 of this report shows a historical summary of active member statistics, and Tables 14A and 14B show the distribution of active members by age and service. The total payroll shown in the statistical tables is the amount that was supplied by ERSRI for the preceding fiscal year, annualized for new entrants as appropriate. For the cost calculations, ERSRI staff provided the actual aggregate payroll for the prior fiscal year and it was rolled forward by one year s payroll growth rate. 8

Discussion Benefit Provisions Appendix B includes a summary of the benefit provisions for ERSRI. There were no material changes in the benefit provisions since the preceding valuation. The COLA to be provided to retired members is contingent on the investment performance, the annual change in the CPI-U, and funded status of the System. The amount of the COLA is determined based on 50% of the plan s five-year average investment rate of return minus 5.5% and will range from zero to 4.0%, and 50% of the lesser of 3% or last year s CPI-U increase for a total maximum increase of 3.50%. This calculation produces a 0.74% COLA for Calendar Year 2017. The COLA will be limited and this limit will be indexed annually to increase in the same manner as COLAs, with the known values of $25,855 for 2016, $26,098 for 2017, and $26,290 for 2018. Furthermore, the COLA will be suspended for all state employees, teachers, BHDDH nurses, correctional officers, judges and state police until the aggregate funding level of their plans exceeds 80%; however, an interim COLA will be granted in four-year intervals while the COLA is suspended. The first interim COLA may begin January 1, 2017. Also, for current retirees and beneficiaries retired on or before July 1, 2015 the $25,000 cap will be increased to $30,000 (indexed) for any COLA payable based on the every fourth year provision. 9

Discussion Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Appendix A of this report includes a summary of the actuarial assumptions and methods used in this valuation. Costs are determined using the Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method. This method was initially adopted effective June 30, 1999 and was modified, effective June 30, 2011, to be consistent with the Act and the standards outlined in the GASB Statement No. 67 exposure draft, which has now been finalized. The method used to determine the actuarial value of assets is the five-year smoothed market method. This technique is further described in Section III of Appendix A. The development of the actuarial value of assets utilizing this method is shown in Tables 8A and 8B of this report. These assumptions were adopted by the Board on June 18, 2014. We believe the assumptions are internally consistent and are reasonable, based on the actual experience of ERSRI. 10

Appendix A SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS I. Valuation Date The valuation date is June 30th of each plan year. This is the date as of which the actuarial present value of future benefits and the actuarial value of assets are determined. II. Actuarial Cost Method The actuarial valuation uses the Entry Age actuarial cost method. Under this method, the employer contribution rate is the sum of (i) the employer normal cost rate, and (ii) a rate that will amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). 1. First, the actuarial present value of future benefits is determined by discounting the projected benefits for each member back to the valuation date using the assumed investment return rate as the discount rate. For active members, the projected benefits are based on the member s age, service, gender and compensation, and based on the actuarial assumptions. The calculations take into account the probability of the member's death, disability, or termination of employment prior to becoming eligible for a retirement benefit, as well as the possibility of the member will remain in service and receive a service retirement benefit. Future salary increases are anticipated. The present value of the expected benefits payable to all active members is added to the present value of the expected future payments to retired participants and beneficiaries to obtain the present value of all expected benefits. Liabilities for future members are not included. 2. The employer contributions required to support the benefits are determined as a level percentage of salary, and consist of a normal contribution and an amortization contribution. 3. The normal contribution is determined using the Entry Age Normal method. Under this method, a calculation is made to determine the rate of contribution which, if applied to the compensation of each individual member during the entire period of anticipated covered service, would be required to meet the cost of all benefits payable on his behalf. The salary-weighted average of these rates is the normal cost rate. This calculation reflects the plan provisions that apply to each individual member. 4. The employer normal cost rate is equal to (i) the normal cost rate, minus (ii) the member contribution rate. 5. The actuarial accrued liability is equal to the present value of all benefits less the present value of future normal costs. The present value of the supplemental 34
